I woke up at 5:07 a.m. and panicked. My alarm hadn’t gone off. I didn’t hear the water running, so my daughter wasn’t in the shower. I flung open her door, told her to take a quick shower because it was 5:07. She said, “Okay.” morning person that she is. Then said, “It’s only 5:07. Don’t I usually get up at 5:45?

I didn’t do my workout yesterday since I was home alone. I told myself I might have a heart attack and nobody would be there to miss me. This morning I modified my treadmill workout to a fast walk at a medium incline while I read Ladies Home Journal.

I then watched the Dalai Lama explain meditation. Except my mind kept wandering because it was too hard to follow his rambling English. I think he was trying to say that analytical meditation was better than the other kind. I figured he meant concentrating on your angst and that didn’t appeal to me. I stuck with him for twenty minutes, then decided I had better things to fill my time with, like getting the laundry going again. I would prefer to read a translation of his teachings rather than suffer through his poor English. All due respect, kind sir that he is.

This DVD isn't for a beginning Yoga student. I got light headed when the blood pooled under me in my legs and had to come out of a position early. I'll be shuffling this one to the end of my workout DVDs.

Yawn, boy that made me tired reading about it! But I was up at 4 this morning commenting on the Fuzzies! Wish I had the energy for all those things! If I got into the yoga position, it would take a major effort to get out of it. Still, I have been thinking about exercise. Does thinking count?

I *have* to get up by 5:45 a.m. M-F to get the kids off to school, not my choice. I am a night person, so it's hard. I prefer to watch Jay Leno, but then I only get about four hours of sleep. When my husband isn't home and the kids are off to school...shh...I go back to bed.

I *LOVE* to sleep and take naps and I hate it when people wake me up. But they always do. I think I get an enorphin rush from sleeping or something.

I'm done with Yoga for awhile. I'll try to get back to the treadmill and some ab work tomorrow.
